Controllable self-catalytic fabrication of carbon nanomaterials mediated by a nickel metal organic framework

Abstract

Carbon nanomaterials and metal–organic frameworks are all research hotspots in the field of energy which have important applications in catalysis and electrochemistry. We present a self-catalytic and controllable strategy for the fabrication of different morphologies and species of carbon nanomaterials under different temperatures via a nickel MOF (Ni₂(bdc)₂dabco) as the precursor.
